After 42 attempts to create this blend, Tom has developed a complex mixture of various burleys, Virginias, toasted Cavendish, with a touch of Perique to produce an all day smoke that is sure to please you through the years.

04/17/2004: I ordered this with the McArris blend after reading a review. Love this stuff. An all-dayer for sure but no pretense to being an aromatic. Another full-flavored stinker for those not smoking it. A top ten for sure.

Blue Ridge, has a lot of Burley, a little toasted Cavendish, Virginia, and a whiff of Perique.It is quite pleasant as long as you puff slow, but puff to fast, it can make you a little light headed. Moisture level is perfect and burns to a dry ash. It is a good smoke and worth a try.

I purchased two ounces of Blue Ridge and smoked about half of it before I lost interest. Simply put, I really didn?t care for the taste of this tobacco and it had a tendency to ?tickle? my nasal passages.
